10 Fabulous Folding Screens

Three Panel Screen

Folding screens are a great way to add architectural interest to a boring room, lend height to a furniture composition, or divide spaces when you need a room to serve more than one purpose. They can hide the clutter at a corner desk or help contain kids' toys in a great room. Best of all, they're available in so many different styles and degrees of opacity, you're bound to find one that's right for your needs. Here are some of our favorites:

Some folding screens are strictly utilitarian; others are works of art. The latter certainly applies to this Three Panel Screen from Stickley. A reproduction of an early-1900s design, it's crafted from oak and features hand-embroidered fabric panels modeled after the arts-and-crafts originals. The screen stands 69 inches high and 67 inches wide, and is available at a suggested retail price of $2,255 (a version with plain leather inlays is $1,936).
